Iconic on the outside, custom on the inside, and a powerful V8 under the hood – you might have already fallen in love at first sight with this 1957 Chevrolet 210 post coupe, but it only gets better the deeper you dig.

A '57 Chevy like this looks its best when in a period-correct color like the pastel blue you see here. It only gets better with a total package that takes advantage of the shine that comes from a more modern paint application. Plus, the super-straight sheetmetal gives the color a great canvas. The 210s from this year had almost as much trim as the Bel Airs, so it wasn't hard to finish the job of looking like one with acres of chrome and stainless that have a mirror-like quality. This includes the wide grille and bumper package with Dagmars as large as the headlights; the full-length body trim that ends in the iconic bright tailfins; and the American Racing Torq Thrust wheels, which have always been a great way to dress up a powerful classic for generations.

The moment you open the door, the two-tone interior will make you (and everyone else) instantly realize there has been a serious investment in customization. It starts with the modern leather bucket seats that have the kind of bolstering to give you an individual level of comfort that they could have never provided in '57. The color on the seats are the perfect complement to the custom door panels, as well as matching carpet, headliner, and center console – it is truly a thoughtful and uniform build! The vintage dash even has an upgraded AM/FM radio that allows you to plug in the most modern music players. But more than just looking great, you will notice plenty of upgrades that are performance-oriented. It includes the Camaro-style sports steering wheel, tach under the tilt steering column, and the B&M shifter. This lets you know there is something special under the hood, even before you twist the key and hear the dual exhaust growl.

Part of what makes these cars a legend is that the Tri-Fives were the ones to introduce the Chevy small block V8. So when you open the hood, you'll love to see this heritage continued, but with a larger, more powerful motor. The 350 cubic-inch V8 looks great with the big orange block and shine off the valve covers and air topper. But when you look beyond the style, you'll discover the substance of all the right performance upgrades, including a Holley four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Performer intake, aluminum radiator, and headers that feed the rumbling Flowmaster dual exhaust. And while all this makes for a great performer with a wicked sound, there's a lot more to this build. For example, the TH350 three-speed automatic transmission is stout enough to handle all of the enhanced power, and it's also great for comfortable cruising, too. Plus, features like the CPP power steering, modern grip of Michelin tires, and the upgraded drilled and slotted front disc brakes are all part of a great anytime driving package.

Beautifully blue on the outside, custom leather on the inside, and plenty of performance beneath the vintage surface – this is quite a special Chevy. That's why you know you need to hurry if you want to make it yours. Call today!!!
